Found out last night my mom has to have surgery to sew her eye shut so it will heal. She has shingles in her eye and it's not getting better. When I got to work someone had brought donuts in and I grabbed an Old Fashion. One of my favorites preop. The

Do you eat oatmeal? I like oatmeal and miss it on cold winter mornings. My last taste was about 6 weeks post-op. I was in a hurry and ordered the classic oatmeal from Starbucks. 30 m

I'm back after a stressful summer. My husband suffered an aortic dissection in June which had me flying from California to Minnesota unexpectedly. I reached out to OH and you helped me stay on track. We came back home and a week later we're at Stanford

I've been reading that it is not uncommon to develop and intolerance to milk after surgery. I usually use milk in a protein shake.  I never had a problem before but now milk doesn't seem to sit well at all. Queasy and bloated feeling. Greek yogurt & ch

It's one of those days today at work and I would usually hit the vending machine for a Snickers bar. Someone brought in blueberry muffins and leftover wedding cake today! Cake was a trigger food for me in the past and I can feel me stress level going u

Chicken, turkey and beef it doesn't matter. If it's just grilled after about 3 bites I'm not feeling so good and stop eating. Ground turkey and beef don't seem to have the same effect. Tonight I think it was because the New York steak was a little dry

It's been 5+ years since the number 1 was the first number. I have to admit I was skeptical but after 6 weeks it's getting easier.

I'm only 3 weeks post op and still on pureed foods but have a question about foods gone forever. Refined white sugar definitely because I am horribly afraid of dumping but does that mean I'm never ever going to have a cookie, piece of birthday cake or

I think I finally stumbled on to my key for getting my liquids. Hot herbal tea first think in the morning and Nectar Lemon Tea (even clumpy). Thank you J Connel for the tip. I had tried different temperatures like everyone suggested but hadn't tried ho

I think I just need to hear again that it's normal. I'm only a week out from surgery so still really tired at times. Some days have been better than others but have not yet reached the 48oz goal my surgeon wants especially if I sleep in or take a nap d

First of all THANK YOU!! If it wasn't for you I might have been more anxious and nervous. Surgery went well had to have my gallbladder out too. Surgery started about 11 and I as settling in my room around 3pm. Pretty boring hooray! Enjoying my broth je
